It’s been a month, 4 weeks and one day, of growing into my new role as Grandmutter (?), Grannna (?), Geema (?), and I want to share some unexpected truths I’ve learned. Nothing but the best for you, my sweet readers. Let’s bullet point this truth-down, shall we? * I love my family deeply. This …
Boy
…or as we say here in Texas, going to the dawgs. My family is big on dogs. Big, hairy, messy dogs. Husband and I have had them our entire married life, with only a sad two-year period when we were dogless, yet Boy’s crusty cantankerous 18-year-old, then 19-year-old, cat remained. We started our married life …
The title of this post is something Husband said to me after I got the call to head to Boy and Girl’s home to help with Sweet E, but couldn’t because I had caught a cold. You’d Never Make It In The Big Leagues Yes, we relate our life to sports stuff around here. I …
Yep. A new first. I was nervous and excited just like with all my other firsts. I was jonesing for this first. Had been waiting all day. The anticipation was high; emotions were out. of. control. Then, as my first became a reality, I realized it was actually two new firsts: #1) Holding my new …

Just this week I’ve cussed, threatened to kick some figurative ass, eaten candy, danced a little in the streets when I was running, and yelled, “HEY, BABY!” to a neighbor. I don’t know any grannies like me. Do you? WHO …
Let me tell y’all that I’m feeling the excitement grow as FB* dives lower and Momma starts peculating. No. Nothing, as in active labor, is happening right now, but it could happen in under a week. I have the 29th in the baby-pool, but Girl needs to get to the 31st, for school purposes. ON …
I can’t get out of my mind how Boy and Mrs. Boy must be feeling as they round third to FB’s due date. All the emotions prior to Boy’s birth have settled in my bones these last few weeks. They appear in moments of quiet. They shout YES! when I get an update from Boy. …
Today is Boy’s birthday. In a few short weeks he will become a first time dad (making me a first time grandmomma!). In a few short weeks he’s going to intimately understand the deepest love there is on this planet. In a few short weeks he’s going to look at me, not as an insane …
